I think this is something that we could discuss via the ML, via a spec review, or at the summit. Some notes which may be useful: 1. We have support for the use of a proxy server [1]. 2. As you probably already know, we build the python wheels for the environment on the repo-server - so all python wheel installs (except tempest venv requirements) are done directly from the repo server. 3. All apt-key and apt-get actions are done against online repositories. If you wish to have these be done online then there would need to be an addition of some sort of apt-key and apt package mirror which we currently do not have. If there is a local repo in the environment, the functionality to direct all apt-key and apt-get install actions against an internal mirror is all there.
